No, It is illegal to keep mail that doesn't belong to you, it is entrusted to the care and safekeeping of the federal government until it reaches its' intended owner. Incidentally, although the property resident is required to have a mailbox in order to receive mail, the mailbox itself falls under the protection and regulation of the government. You 'own' it, but 'they' control it.
